Chronicling the adventures of an elite experiential marketing team. From the nine years on the road to new adventures in Portland, OR. We are the Roving Van Gelders and we can’t wait to see you down the road.
I met back up with Josh in Boston earlier this week where we spent the first part out in the Concord area. It was a very nice welcome back staying at the Concord Colonial Inn right in the middle of the historic downtown. We usually stick to chain hotels to earn points but this looked... Continue Reading →
We have decided to join in the fun and share how Pippi got her name. Her full name is Pippi Van Peanutbutter. Josh named her, he liked Pippi because it rhymed with Puppy. We got her before we were married and she is actually my dog. So as a nod to her daddy we included... Continue Reading →
A few weeks back a photo of Pippi won a monthly contest and now an image from that same set will be used in a travel guild. I am sure you can understand how exciting this is for us. We have done some of our photos published before but all in Funeral industry magazines or... Continue Reading →

We had some fun trying to get these to happen.
To start off my crazy past two weeks was a drive to DC, by myself. After arriving in Michigan from Mexico I left right away to meet Josh around our favorite city. I did this sans GPS and Atlas. The first few day there were spend driving about doing "site checks", some of those sites... Continue Reading →
